Having seen both marks again, I think the height that Jurrah reached and his prolonged hang time should see him win it.

Goddard's was phenomenal, but the ride was shorter and he didn't reach the same height. I mean Jurrah leaped over Watts who is 196cm.

Both great marks, and which ever one wins the nomination this week will no doubt go on to win the overall award (and the crappiest prize in the history of competitions!)

could Watts turn into the new Gary Lyon?

Watts will be a very nervous man everytime there is a long high kick put into F50, waiting for the Jurrahcane to arrive on his shoulders, just like Farmer used to on Lyon

Let's get behind LJ and ensure he gets the car.... vote now!

Also regarding the respective heights LJ and Goddard achieved, one way of looking at it is that LJ jumped on Jack Watts (196cm) shoulders, whilst BJ rode Sam Fisher's (191cm).

Jurrah was therefore 5cm higher, rode longer and just looked more stylish.

Breathtaking.

jurah was on watts shoulders! massive leap...watts is 196cm tall...from the footage i saw LJ didn't even touch watts or use his hands to assit in the ride...

if it doesn't get mark of the year it will probably go close to being in the top 10 marks of the decade. . .

and Jackson Trengove(the port player) was 197cm

As suggested by why you litle, I photoshop'd Jurrah's mark so that he is wearing the historic red and blue jumper (see previous page).

I was further prompted to perhaps send this to the footy club and make a bit of a statement.

Here was my email:

Hi fellow Demon!!

As the season draws to a close for us Demons, so too (hopefully) ends our white strip that is very "un-Demon-like", to say the least.

Liam Jurrah's mark. It will go down in history for the Demons as one of our great marks (along with Farmer's and Smith's!). But with the white strip donned by Jurrah and his teammates against Port, this scintillating image will leave people wondering who he played for in 40 years down the track!!!

I have attached a Photoshop'd image of Jurrah in the Dees' traditional guernsey - see the difference it makes! I am hoping you may be able to forward it on to the relevant personnel in the hope that this simple image may create an even more eagerness to keep our traditional red and blue as much as possible.

Thanks for your time,

A Demon supporter since 3 months old (currently 23 years old)

And the response:

Good Morning,

Thank you for your email and continued support of the Melbourne Football Club. Your email has been forwarded to the marketing department.

Kind Regards,

Will keep everyone informed. :)

Says it all really.

Excuse me? Would you like to elaborate please?

Or else... mouth shut and butt out.

Cheers.

I'd love to see our Club produce a poster of LJ's mark. I'm sure that many of us Demons fans would be happy to buy one (especially if it wins MOTY). Maybe we could even do a quick whip around and sent a bundle of then to adorn the walls in Yuendumu.

Liam has taken a while to recover the confidence in his shoulder, following his major surgery earlier in the year. He's been dying to take a screamer like this one for a few weeks now and if he has a good pre-season, get ready for something special in 2011 as you ain't seen nothing yet.

Good on ya

Hey fellow supporters,

I am a painter, and whilst photo posters are excellent, if you want to get really serious, only a painting will do. I would be happy to accept commissions from any of you! It has so many fabulous facets to it, that I suspect I'll paint a version anyway(with the 'home' uniform and shorts in replacement) My avatar is in fact a 'front on' view of the Shaun Smith mark using artists models (it's a bit hard to see I know). It is one of a triptych....front on, TV side view, and opposite side view. They are 5 foot tall, acrylic on canvas. I've also done a couple of modern impressionistic portraits of Tom Wills, both very football specific. If anyone is interested in seeing them, I can provide the relevant link to www.flickr.com where they (and the Shaun Smith) are in much higher def.

Yeah I'm sure we would like to see. Post the link.

Will be very interested to see if you go ahead with the painting. Would be great and I bet you could sell a bundle of prints. Maybe you could do a deal with the club

Good luck

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
